Yeah I know....I hate that too. That's a real problem. You can try leaving the door open, a trick I used to use with my camcorder, but I bet the mzm200 is too "smart" for that. Have you tried leaving it in pause mode? Check the manual and give Sony a call and see if they have a solution.

hi, no i would think not but if that was a problem either of you only have to press the big volume knob to turn off both units.the same goes then to turn back on. really simple to operate. either unit will turn both on or off while riding. to completely shut down the units after riding they are turned off individually.

No. "At the end of the tape, playback stops and the unit turns off automatically."

Assuming that you mean (it's not clear from the sentence above) that it doesn't turn off after you do the scheduling to set it up for recording, I find that sometimes with this unit, I hit the power button to turn it off, and sometimes it won't turn off, so I just hit it again and then it does. I would also suggest that after you are done scheduling, you back out of the menu or just hit "Live" to get back to the current DTV channel. It should power down after that, assuming you are not scheduling a program that is set to start during the time you are programing the unit, but I assume that's not what is happening. The recorder does have to be "off" to record a scheduled show, just like a VCR.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

Hi all,I just got the unit and it does switch well. I have one problem though: once I operate the source linked to OUTPUT B (pause, click DVD menu, ...), the unit shuts off the B output and I have to reset it or reselect the B source each time ! Since it takes 5s for the unit to sync each time you select something, this is getting annoying ! It does not "lock" into the setup I want.Can I disable the "smart" input recognition/crap ?Thanks.

I have been having MAJOR problems getting the red 'rec' button to stop an in-process recording! Often, it doesn't stop at all, and I have to turn the unit off AS IT'S RECORDING!!! VERY ANNOYING.

There's no on/off switch. The only way to shut it off, unfortunately, is to unplug it. As for your other question: I do not know. I've never used the mic with anything more than a karaoke machine.

I have only had mine for a couple of months and have not seen that kind of behavior from it at this point. Is it possible that it was in your pocket and the stop button got bumped accidentally thereby initiating a pause, and then (again accidentally) the record button got bumped thereby re-starting the record operation from that pause?

Press the on/off switch and turn off.When you turn it back on it will give you time to record message.

I have the same problem. I actually have gotten to the point of powering off the unit (after I finally get it to record)

No, turning the unit off will clear the memory. When it is powered on again, the unit resets to begin playback from the first track.

You need to leave the unit on when You record. It would not record when its powder off.
